The team is now looking to expand the collection to include an even greater diversity of Internet cultures worldwide. They're asking for contributions—particularly from the global south and emerging and underrepresented Internet cultures—that highlight the best cat, dog, goat, llama, and other animal memes from around the globe.

If you'd like to contribute, just email the following to info@thecivicbeat.com:

A brief paragraph (3–5 sentences long) looking at an animal meme (or animal-based humor) most representative of the internet culture of the country you study and some of the social and cultural reasons for its popularity. (This will be trimmed down by the curators to about 2 sentences, but the extra content is helpful.)

A few representative meme images, with English translations (if needed)
